Volvo graveyard
The worst part about it is that my driveway is gravel and I live in Central NY State and it starts to get harsh around here in October. My only saving grace is I have a friend who's a mechanic and gives me a good deal on his hourly rates.
LOL.....
When the wife and i were shopping for our house i specifically demanded a three car garage so i could work on me brick.....a year and a half later and i'm still starting.

Hi folks,
the red one is an Amazon 120 - most of you know that already - its no older than '65 from the grill but the number system is a bit odd[8D]. So, 'cos its a 2 door its a 130 but it will be badged as 120 or if its a twin carb 122 or 122s. looking at the pics there's no sign of a badge on the wing so i would go for an 1800cc 120. Of course there may be a 2 litre lump.
Yes there is plenty of room for a V8 i would bloody love to do mine as a sleeper but she's to original and worth to much emotionaly
- She was registered on december the 4th 1964 24 days before i was born
